She carefully read the reviewer’s comments, trying to contain her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was obviously surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the top nine economics journals—Econometrica!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like the Annual Mathematics of mathematics or the Physical Review Letters of physics!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her mentor, Professor Forster, would have a hard time publishing in this journal. After all, it was difficult to produce research results in macroeconomics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after she submitted the journal three days after Christmas, she received a reply from the reviewer not long after New Year’s Day. This had never happened to her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a newcomer in the world of academia, this was unbelievable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, reviewing theses was a type of volunteer work. It didn’t really benefit the reviewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially for well-known scholars who had nothing to gain from reviewing theses. They would only review theses when they had a lot of free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong was prepared to wait for six weeks, but instead, she received a reply from the reviewer in the second week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong looked at the review comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The mathematical model used in the thesis is interesting, but there are some flaws in the theoretical economics part...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Review comments: Modifications might be needed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“... My brother is too strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong’s mouth was wide open, and after a while, she sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fastest thesis review response she had ever received...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thanked her brother in her heart and gave herself some encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, she was going to be an outstanding scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like her brother...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a role model was a powerful thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a goal in mind, Xiao Tong didn’t even take a break. She began modifying the thesis based on the reviewer’s comments. She kept the mathematical model unchanged and uploaded the thesis after making some changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This should be fine, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong sighed and took out a graduation application form from her desk. She hesitated for a bit before making up her mind and walking to Professor Forster’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though having a reliable brother was a good thing, she still wanted to do some things on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one thing she and Lu Zhou had in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was, they never wanted to bother other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, when they encountered something they couldn’t do, they wouldn’t hesitate to ask for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they would often return the favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a knock at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster stopped writing and looked at the student who walked into his office. He smiled gently and asked cheerfully, “How are you? Have you thought about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like Ansley didn’t snitch on Xiao Tong. She gave Xiao Tong the chance to tell Professor Forster the bad news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it didn’t really count as snitching...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xiao Tong already made up her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong stood in front of Professor Forster’s desk and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already completed my graduation thesis and submitted it to Econometrica.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster was baffled. He didn’t expect Xiao Tong to complete the graduation thesis at all. Forster spoke with his eyes wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a second... You finished it? Are you sure you did it using my...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong nodded and looked at Professor Forster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did it using your hypothesis. I used the Bewley model to analyze the macroeconomic impact of welfare policies... But I used an improved model.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster stared at his student, and he suddenly felt a little nauseous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arranged this research project for her, he was hoping that she wouldn’t be able to complete it. He didn’t expect her to actually finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew she was going to ask Lu Zhou for mathematics help...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was surprised at her economics theory abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you compile the algorithm? Whether it’s Econometrica or other journals, you will have to run the model on your own computer. Are you sure the data you calculated is...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve done the calculations,” Xiao Tong said as she interrupted Professor Forster. “I passed the academic review. It’s in peer review now...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having to modify the thesis wasn’t a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reviewer was obviously interested in her research; otherwise, they wouldn’t have replied so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster played around with a pen in his hand and calmed down. He was a little annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The review process for Econometrica is very long. It takes at least six weeks. Unless you’re a well-known scholar, you would have to wait for a long time. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea to submit to Econometrica, but why didn’t you ask for my opinion...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were any other student, he would have started to scold them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this student was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t like he was scared of her; he just didn’t want to offend her...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to worry about that...” Xiao Tong hesitated for a bit. She had to tell him the truth sooner or later, so she said, “The corresponding author is Lu Zhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou was the corresponding author.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou certainly counted as a well-known scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this spot originally belonged to Forster...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office suddenly had a tense atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster’s smile disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry... I didn’t hear you clearly, what are you saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong: “He’s the corresponding author. After all, he did the mathematical model and algorithm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster took a deep breath and looked at his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you trying to do...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not trying to do anything.” Xiao Tong shook her head and said, “That was his request.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Forster calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His request...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She obviously meant Professor Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The thesis is in peer review, and I received a reply from the reviewer this morning and made some minor modifications. The revised thesis should be accepted.” Xiao Tong looked at Professor Forster and took a deep breath. “I’m sorry I couldn’t write you down as the corresponding author, but Professor Lu did say that it’s up to me who is first and second author.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tong paused for a second and looked at Professor Forster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you let me graduate, I’ll put you down as the first author for my Econometrica thesis... What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-05T19:44:58.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","1d24f185993d0f41556e0a0dce65b4395643653ccb445a2bc111ec2b3d5d833a","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-884","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-882",1683,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fscholar-s-advanced-technological-system-cover.jpg"]
